Abstract
Personal safety mobile apps have evolved from simple tools to sophisticated instruments that enhance personal safety. They offer features like emergency alerts, location tracking, and safety networks. These apps can transmit real-time audio, video, and location data to emergency responders and set geographical boundaries for users. They empower users by boosting their confidence to explore new environments and handle challenges. However, they also pose challenges such as privacy concerns due to constant tracking of location and personal data and technical limitations like poor network coverage or glitches. Despite these challenges, they hold great potential for the future.
